Based upon its “exceptional value or Naval Academy. quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States,” the Colonial Annapolis Historic District was designated one of forty-three National Historic Landmark Districts in 1965 by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service. In recognition of the superior preservation of its significant eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth century structures, an enlarged historic district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Annapolis is a remarkable urban environment. Laid out 300 years ago on a neck of land where the Severn River joins the Chesapeake Bay, the city evokes a sense of history and a sense of place, expressed in the character of its streets, the fit of its land to the water, and its pleasing human scale. Governor Francis Nicholson’s 1695 town plan for Annapolis is the oldest surviving Baroque plan in the United States. Annapolis presents a unique record of the pre-industrial colonial city in our country, and its collection of 18th, 19th and 20th century architecture is important to the entire nation. Annapolis was home to Maryland’s four signers of the Figure 2. Annapolis Historic District map. 5 Figure 3. William Paca House, 186 Prince George Street (1763- 1765).

HISTORIC DISTRICT PROTECTION IN ANNAPOLIS Community Activism Community efforts to preserve the historic environment of Annapolis extend back to the nineteenth century, although an effective local historic district zoning ordinance was not enacted until 1969. The impact of the protection afforded by historic district zoning and the efforts of the Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Annapolis Foundation, and an assortment of house museum associations, can be seen throughout the district. In 1952 Historic Annapolis, Inc. was founded as an advocate and agent for preservation in the city. Its charter was “to preserve the distinctive quality of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County derived from the buildings, structures, objects, and spaces that possess integrity of design, setting, materials and workmanship that contribute to the historic character of this locale.” Historic Annapolis’s accomplishments include research on the history of Annapolis and its buildings, and the pioneering of historic preservation easements. of the City’s Historic District Commission (now the Historic Annapolis, Inc. saved the William Paca House Historic Preservation Commission) to its preservation from demolition and in partnership with the State of mandate.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland Founding the Proprietary Colony The founding and establishment of the propriety government of Maryland was the product of competing factors—political, commercial, social, and religious. It was intertwined with the history of one family, the Calverts, who were well established among the Yorkshire gentry and whose Catholic sympathies were widely known. George Calvert had been a favorite of the Stuart king, James I. In 1625, following a noteworthy career in politics, including periods as clerk of the Privy Council, member of Parliament, special emissary abroad of the king, and a principal secretary of state, Calvert openly declared his Catholicism. This declaration closed any future possibility of public office for him. Shortly thereafter, James elevated Calvert to the Irish peerage as the baron of Baltimore. Calvert’s absence from public office afforded him an opportunity to pursue his interests in overseas colonization. Calvert appealed to Charles I, son of James, for a land grant.1 Calvert’s appeal was honored, but he did not live to see a charter issued. In 1632, Charles granted a proprietary charter to Cecil Calvert, George’s son and the second baron of Baltimore, making him Maryland’s first proprietor. Maryland’s charter was the first long-lasting one of its kind to be issued among the thirteen mainland British American colonies. Proprietorships represented a real share in the king’s authority. They extended unusual power. Maryland’s charter, which constituted Calvert and his heirs as “the true and absolute Lords and Proprietaries of the Region,” might have been “the best example of a sweeping grant of power to a proprietor.” Proprietors could award land grants, confer titles, and establish courts, which included the prerogative of hearing appeals.

  • How Built Environment Affects Travel Behavior
    http://jtlu.org . 5 . 3 [2012] pp. 40–52 doi: 10.5198/jtlu.v5i3.266 How built environment affects travel behavior: A comparative analysis of the con- nections between land use and vehicle miles traveled in US cities Lei Zhang Jinhyun Hong Arefeh Nasri Qing Shen (corresponding author) University of University of Maryland University of University of Marylanda Washington Washington Abstract: Mixed findings have been reported in previous research regarding the impact of built environment on travel behavior—i.e., sta- tistically and practically significant effects found in a number of empirical studies and insignificant correlations shown in many other studies. It is not clear why the estimated impact is stronger or weaker in certain urban areas and how effective a proposed land use change/policy will be in changing certain travel behavior. This knowledge gap has made it difficult for decision makers to evaluate land use plans and policies according to their impact on vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and consequently, their impact on congestion mitigation, energy conservation, and pollution and greenhouse gas emission reduction. This research has several objectives: (1) re-examine the effects of built-environment factors on travel behavior, in particular, VMT in five US metropolitan areas grouped into four case study areas; (2) develop consistent models in all case study areas with the same model specifica- tion and datasets to enable direct comparisons; (3) identify factors such as existing land use characteristics and land use policy decision-making processes that may explain the different impacts of built environment on VMT in different urban areas; and (4) provide a prototype tool for government agencies and decision makers to estimate the impact of proposed land use changes on VMT.

THE LEGAL PROFESSION IN COLONIAL AMERICA* Anton-Hermann Chroustt VI. NEw YORK New York accepted the common law of England as the basis of its own law at a relatively early stage. This favorable attitude towards English law is to a large extent probably due to the fact that the colony was acquired by conquest rather than settlement. Soon after the English had taken over New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664 and had renamed it New York, a code of laws was promulgated under the title of the Duke's Laws. In 1673 the Dutch retook New York and re-introduced the old Dutch laws, but lost it again in 1674 to the British who restored the code of 1665. This code, which is mainly the work of Matthias Nicolls, a barrister from Lincoln's Inn (1649), drew alike from the com- mon law, the Dutch colonial laws and from some of the local laws in force in the New England colonies.
